 Only
one hundred public health dentists are responsible for the dental care
of more than 4 million men, women and children in Honduras. Public health
dentists often lack appropriate equipment and supplies.
Since 1993 CAMO has been running a Dental Program for the western part
of Honduras. It is the only region in  Honduras
that has three fully functional mobile dental units that are used on a
weekly basis by the Honduran dentist. This allows the dentists to go to
rural areas and schools for dental care and education. CAMO's dental program
treats around 10,000 people a year. It is the only dental program in Honduras
that has statistically decreased (by 50%!) the number of teeth lost to
decay, and is also providing restorative services.
Ways you can help:
-
Donate equipment and supplies
-
Make dental kits for the children including toothbrushes, paste and floss.
